how to rightly approach your bible study time

Why is humility such an important trait of a Christian?

"Let us consider how our lack of love, indifference to the needs and feelings of others, even sharp
comments and hasty judgments that are often excused as being honest and straightforward, are
thwarting the effect of the influence of the Holy Spirit on others. Manifestations of temper and
touchiness and irritation, feelings of bitterness and estrangement, have their root in nothing but pride. "
